Moodie Black

Moodie Black

Often referred to as the "nine inch nails of rap" Moodie Black lends itself more to acts like The cure and Joy Division colliding head on with the spirit of west coast rap of the 90s. Their last full length record Nausea released by Fake Four, immortalized Moodie Black as the most polarizing act of the noise rap genre amongst bands such as Death Grips and Dalek. Opting to harness noise and mood in the vein of soundscape and emotion as opposed to sheer brutal force and gimmicks, MB has also managed to become one of the most prolific and memorable touring acts of the noise scene and have embraced performing across the world in settings that span high class venues and festivals, to small squats and DIY venues.

XOR

XOR = Anthony Nolan + Flohr

Due to a number of factors, we do not currently believe that the phenomenon has actually formed recently but according to all known and non-redacted records it has remained undetected to date. Severe voltage fluctuations have interfered with preliminary scans. Sound source test results remain inconclusive but there are signs of a possible origin of the primary oscillation in the vicinity of 32.7555° N, 97.3308° W. Subject seems to have absorbed common temporal-rhythmic as well as harmonic-melodic patterns from its surrounding environment and adapted them to its own as yet unknown purposes. Core timbral readings are extremely unstable and subject to drastic change. Repetition to the point of monotony could indicate some advanced form of metabolic stasis designed to process and redirect energy, however even in these periods of relative regularity we detect the presence of multiple elements undergoing severe modulation and unpredictable non-linearities. At present, all of our preliminary analysis and documentation has been confiscated by the Data Cult Audio for distribution to unknown recipients.
